...extruded from The Bowels of Babylon to run their Shitstem Thanks for this thoughtful gift Stoni

So instead of following Babylon's path we have a great franchise which has transformed Jamaica by forming the intellectual basis and leadership driving consciousness re what "Jamaican" means and realizing its inestimable value...

... And providing essential leadership in the self-government movement, political party & ruling government formation & operation, independence struggle... As well as leadership in the financial infrastructure, business class, civil service, the cultural complex, international diplomacy etc. etc etc.

Flawed as those creations are....without them Jamaica is less than nothing

To diss wi...is to diss JA.

Memba mi tole unnu seh wi nuh tolerate nuh guy fi diss Jamaica....juss suh
